Pentax: give Benjikan a K5 and 645D

**interested_observer** · 10-11-2010, 07:48 AM

Ben, With your new "association", will you still be able to post here? Or will everything you do be exclusive to your potentially new "association"?

I like you work, and the forum has benefited greatly from your time and postings.

I have learned a lot....

Well i bet you currently Hasselbald is shaking in their boots ... Thought I bet canikon probably doesn't care that much as their primary focus is really sports.

I really see the 645D has a tool to the Fashion Photographer, while the rugged design will allow it to be taken out into the field.

Looks like it will be a very fine piece of kit indeed.

It is too bad, as there are literally thousands of Fashion Photographers around the world. They should rekindle the Pentax pedegree.

I don't think that is good enough for Pentax.
"Thousands" is only a small number compared to the ten- , probably in the hundredthousands who regularily have to mow their lawn and yet, after years of testing, no Mr. Pentax has ever sent me a body for testing. To make matters worse they never ship to Holland in the first place, most often the last... Now, If only they were aware that MANY won't toch a new body until after MY Shake Reduction test....

Nope, I don't think they hand out anything for free.

benjikan, I love your work, and I personally think Pentax is missing a great marketing opportunity
